To all whom, 'it may conccrn.-

Be it known that we, FERDINAND WETZ- Lnn and MAX ORNsTEIN, citizens ofthe United States, residing at New York, N. Y., have invented new anduseful Improvements in Ad.- vertising Projecting Apparatus, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to advertising projecting apparatus, and relatesespecially to apparatus of this character comprising indiveating-beltsor other movable indicating means which are superimposed by projectionupon the image of a clock-dial or the like. v

In the accom anying drawings, showing an illustrative 'emliodiment ofthis invention, and in whichV the same reference-numeral revfers tosimilar parts in the several figures,l Figure 1 1s a vertical sectionalview. Fig. 2

. porta le character.

i In thev'illustrative embodiment-of this invention, 1 1s a box orcontaining casing of suitable character within which the alplparatus maybe mounted. As indicated, t s apparatus may comprise the usualparabolicreflector 5, in front of which any desired source Vof .illumination maybe used, indicated in this instance as composed of the incandescent lihts2, each of which is mounted in a suitab e socket 3 and receivingcurrent from the flexible wires 4, passing out of the casin so as togive the apparatus a readily- Upon the standard 11 y 1s mounted thebracket 8, carrying the barrel 9, in which is mounted the rear lens 6.The lens-tube l() is 'slidingly mounted within this barrel to give theusual adjustment and carries the front lens 7. A suitable shield 33 isarranged adjacent the rear lens to cut off any undesirable llight -rays,although of course these projecting elements may be of other form, 1fdesired.

The clock mechanism 12 may be supported by the standards 31 and mayassist in supporting the reflector 5, as indicated. This clock mechanismmay comprise the winding rojecting and setting keys 17 18. Theclock-dial 16 is 5o made of transparent material, such as glass, and issup orted upon the standards 32 atthe focus o the lenses. The hands 1a15 are mounted adjacent this dial and are-operated by the tubular shafts13, extending forward from the clock mechanism 12. In this way theclock-face is projected and indicates the time upon theprojecting-screen. Other desired indicating means are arranged adjacentthe clock-dial, so as to be superimposed by 6o projection thereupon. Asindicated, a plurality of indicating-belts 26are mounted upon suitablerolls 25 2,8,pwhich are supported on the vertical shafts 24 29, theseshafts havarranged in suitable bearings in the light- 4framework 27, sothat the continuous belts travel adjacent the clock-dial or otherindicating means. These indicating-belts may be olperated in any desiredway, and, as shown, 7o t eir operation issecured by connecting them withthe clock mechanism. The train of gears 19 is operated by the clockmechanism and engages the ear 20, fast on the shaft 21.

yThis shaft, whic vruns in the brackets 307 5 (see Fig. 1,) carries atits outer end ythe bevelgear 22. This gear meshes with the bevelgear- 23on the driving-shaft 24 for operating the indicating-belts throu h therolls 25.

In this way the indicating-be ts, which of course 8o may be formed inthis instance of transparent material and may carry any desiredindications or advertising matter, are moved either continuously orintermittently across the clock-dial and form in connection therewith adesirable advertisement upon the projectingscreen. y

Without being limited to the details of construction and operation ofthe described embodiment of thls invention, which is of 9o course merelyillustrative of a single form of this apparatus, what is claimed as new,and what 1t is desired to secure by Letters Patent, i is set forth inthe appended claim:

An advertising apparatus consisting of a portable box, a reflector andinjecting-lenses vmounted therein, electric iights placed between saidlenses and the reflector, a vclockwork located to the rear of thereflector, a In testimony whereof We have signed our 1o transparent diallocated to the rear ofthe names to tlns speccatlon ln the presence oflenses in front of the lights, hands mounted two subscrlbmg W1tnesses.

onsad dial7 a connection from said hands to T the Clockwork, shafts,rolls mounted thereon, TZLER means for rotating one of the shafts fromthe clockwork and a plurali@r of indicating-belts Witnesses: mounted onsaid rolls and arranged to pass OTTO SMURK,

adjacent the dial,- substantally as described. H. M. KUEHUE.
